What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Newbury's stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
